Brief
Create an illustration communicating a negative aspect of Facebook

Solution
This is a man who spends his time carefully constructing his Facebook profile to shows how little he cares.Yet he craves validation like a man on the street craves loose change. Glazed eyes, like an unmoving beggar, he stares off at the screen, watching, waiting, for a little red bleep.

A commentary on our need to acceptance, the constant search for approval.This drive has always been present in our lives, but Facebook exasperate it. It takes our social standing and organises it, categorises the relationships. A collection of the hats that we wear, on display, awaiting a rating.

He is dressed in haggered business attire.This is to show he could of had it all, money, success...But such as being a gambler or addict, he has wasted his life away on Facebook.

I have chosen to have a grungy stencil aesthetic to further enhance the idea of the rough solitude of losing it all.
